Perception of Manny Pacquaio post JMM Bradley

[Jello Biafra]

Pacquiao beat Bradley plus Bradley's preferred fighting style sucks so his beating JMM means jack shyt in the grand scheme of boxing.
I had Pacquiao ahead of JMM before the KO and I basically chalk it up to the dangers of boxing...you are always just one punch away from a loss.
If Manny had been beaten up, dominated or just outclassed by JMM in their fight I would have doubts about whether he was shot or not but getting knocked out in a fight you were winning isn't the type of thing that declares a guy's career being over in my estimation.
And I fully expect Manny to beat Rios in an exciting fight next month.

my perception of manny has not changed..he was jobbed against bradley..anyone who says or believes that bradley won this fight doesn't know shyt about boxing..period..against marquez in the 4th fight..he was beating the hell out of marquez outside of the first KD before he leapt into that cross counter..none of those 2 fights have shown me any type of boxer deterioration or slippage..against rios i fully expect pac to tear him apart...like he did against david diaz...just a steady asswhoopin until he falls

Manny will look good against Rios and will have HBO (Jim Lampley) back on his dikk.

 

[Tom Foolery]

His aura is gone. Still able to beat most fighters, but for one reason or another he hasn't looked great in a while.

Manny is still a 1st ballot lock for the HOF an a all time great. He clearly beat Bradley while fighting at his B-level game and got robbed. He was giving Marquez that work in a close competitive back in forth fight before he was put to sleep. shyt happens.
Rios is a good fighter and I feel he'll be in Manny's grill and do his thing in spots but I still think he'll lose. Rios gets troubled by movement and once Manny starts using the ring and start darting in an out with combinations Brandon will start getting discouraged and lose a lop-sided decision. Picture the early rounds of the Acosta fight actually happening for 12 rounds.

I was never one of those dudes who thought he clearly lost the the 3rd fight against JMM. shyt could have gone either way depending on what you prefer. Marguez won 5 rds at best and didn't really close the show strong enough to scream robbery, but since he did better than he was expected most cats act like he pitched a clinic when in actuality he didn't. Another example of winning the event, but losing the fight. Arum wasted Manny's career in too many pointless fights. Margarito was too damn big and Mosely wasn't worth it. He should have been grooming Rios and Gamboa to fight him back then, similar to how Goldenboy was lining up the young dudes for Floyd.

Manny is the same. Styles makes fights,that is all to it.

Bradley Pac was a close fight and which I thought Manny won.
Pac/JMM 3 wasnt close at all, JMM won that shyt clearly

Manny doesnt dude good with boxers
Jmm doesnt do well with Boxers
Bradley is very well rounded fighter who at times does stupid shyt(per his last fight)

Like SRL said about Duran in the rematch , Duran lost that fire in his eye, and no matter how bad Manny was dominating Bradley in the mid rounds, Bradley took something out of Manny by the end of that fight and stole his soul, the look on Manny's face and eyes showed that

A far cry from the murderer looking Manny I loved and hard down defended in the past when Manny was known as a average fighter with a glass jaw.......

Toss up for me, I cant call it, I would have love to see Manny get a easy touch post knockout, after Prov Bradley and Bradley JMM, I now that I feel that he may have even been greatly diminished before the knockout so IDK

I dont know if you guys notice but manny been fading in his last few fights lately. The Ariza shyt is a plus for rios.

Also I don't think Marquez gets enough credit for his win over Manny, he trained to set Manny up for that particular KO punch, and was baiting him the whole time, yeah it could have (and at the time before the punch was) backfired, but hey he caught him.

I seen, I question how much he truly has faded, and is it worse than televised. Manny couldnt do to prov what Bradley did. he couldnt box JMM, but boxed the shyt out of ODH

HIs biggest issue is he no longer has that stamina, whether age, or training habits, he rather rather throw 1 or 2 big shots, than to string off 3/4 punch combo's move and do the same like in the past.....
